While drone competitions tend to focus on stationary images or video, SkyPixel’s latest contest combines a little bit of both.

The website, which is a Flickr-like platform for drone photographers, recently called for artists to submit their best 360-degree images taken with drones as part of its 360° Panorama Contest. Most of the winning selections are outdoor aerial shots that provide a panoramic view of different types of landscapes ranging from cities to beaches and mountains.

The pieces featured in SkyPixel’s contest show that there’s opportunity for 360-degree photography to enable new types of art. As 360-degree cameras and drones become cheaper and more accessible, we’re bound to see more similar creations emerge. Explore the winning shots below by moving your mouse cursor or finger around the image.
